Tel Aviv T24F7 #0007
My first foray into building extended range guitars (and certainly not my last), this 7-string T-style beast was commissioned for a professional guitarist, and close friend of mine. Interestingly, while designed very much to a specification conducive to playing metal, this guitar was actually designed as a tool to aid in scoring and composition with an extra low string to handle more low end compared to a standard 6-string guitar. Obviously, it does metal too, though :)
T24X7 = T-model, 24 fret, 7 strings
